Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. The introduction of the two daughters is the setup for the most significant deception in Jacob's life — the reversal of the Jacob-Esau deception by a man at least as skilled. Leah and Rachel will become the mothers of the twelve tribes. The application: the characters introduced in the setup verse are the characters through whom the entire story will unfold.
